We came from the same place
But wound up at different destinations
We both picked our poisons
We had our opposite aspirations
You had a head for business
I was an artsy type guy
Sometimes I think you're jealous of me
But I can't understand the reason why
You went this way, I went that way
We could never get ourselves aligned
You had savvy, you had courage
I never knew what I was hoping to find
Two different devils
Two different devils
Chasing us down, down, down
You do your skiing in Aspen
While I trudge through the Boston snow
Your daughter went to NYU
But where my kid will go I don't know
Why have you forsaken me
When you're the one with all the luck
Doubt you'd want to swap places
With a guy who can't seem to make a buck
You are a smart guy, you are a sharp guy
You never seem to get it wrong
You got the brass ring, you got the golden fleece
And all I got is this crummy song
